The First Wyrm

The creation of Aitso is a topic that many do not know of it's origin. However, many dragons, especially ones like Malus and Vorbile, the Desecrator , believe within the First Wyrm. This creation idea is that the first Dragon, the reason why a dragon is called a dragon, had found Aitso whilst travelling in space. Their great breath of fire had sparked humanity, elvenkind, but most importantly, draconic origins. The fire has been described as many different things across the different iterations of the creation ideology. It's been said to be kindling, as if Aitso was lit aflame with life thanks to the occasion, or even described as the creation of a blank slate, that Aitso was just ruins and a pathetic civilisation at first. The Dragon would've been said to have purified it, made it proper. The First Wyrm would then, according to legend, settle down upon the planet, causing the liberation of dragonkind, across all of the planet. 

This first dragon resembles an Ancient Red Dragon, but in many depictions, their wings are not made of flesh, but instead fire, like a Great Wyrm's wingspan. Most depictions of this Wyrm have it constantly soaring over the ground, in a feat of stamina and strength, whilst smoke apparently emits from their eyes. These depictions are mostly made by cultists of dragons, who try to make the designs seem intimidating. The most common way to find shrines to the First Wyrm, is for large murals to be designed using paints and chromatic spells. It's less common to find sculptures of this ideology of creation, compared to the likes of Croma, Goddess of Light , who is said to have created the nature of creation itself. Sculptures are hard to find due to the elemental natures of the First Dragon, which is hard to replicate within clay, marble, or any other material used for that form of artistic expression. 

Another segment of this theory and belief to the creation of Aitso involves the pad-like plates upon the shoulders to the dragon. There are few who believe those markings to resemble the shape and sizes of islands that appear within the Thevagon Isles within the Deep South of Aitso. This belief forms well with the one that this first dragon was the largest of them all, and perhaps could be a Dragon Avatar, due to their ability to pick their size. The First Dragon has had depictions of dwarfing Aitso itself, it's breath of flames having caused a ripple within the sky and stars above the planet, forming nebulas and even the Far Reaches of Space, with some theories. Others have stated that the First Dragon was the size of Tiamat's true form, or even just a segment of her. Ultimately however, it is always up to the expression of the storyteller or artist behind the depiction. It fluxes between all of those who speak or create art of this creation story. 

Respect and admiration are all bestowed upon the Dragon, many claiming to be direct descendants, or even reincarnations of this powerful beast to others. Malus, the Charred Colossus, has claimed before that he will be known as the Second Dragon, as a sort of younger sibling to the First Wyrm, due to having plans to do similar acts as what the Wyrm had done within stories. Malus is also renowned for his devotion to the Wyrm, having modelled many areas of his Floating City domain over the beast. Younger, more impressionable and childish dragons such as Ashfang, believe themselves to be second-comings, especially Red Dragons. Ashfang had mentioned this during his Assault on Chthonia , before being killed. Some draconic beings tend to stay away from mentioning the First Wyrm, as it is ultimately unknown on if this majestic beast had ever existed, or it was just myth. One of them is Vorbile, the Desecrator , who believes that only the present matters, and that even if he was a descendant to this great dragon, if it existed, he would not care.
